Description

This volume provides a general field-theoretical picture of critical phenomena and stochastic dynamics and helps readers develop a practical skill for calculations. This education on the practical skill sets this book apart: it is the first to give a full technical introduction to the field. Both general ideas and …hard… calculations are presented here. This text can also serve as an ideal reference on applications of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). The author gives a comprehensive treatment of the subject, but in a manner easily understood by anyone familiar with the basic of statistical physics. Both students and working scientists can benefit from this text.

Table of Contents

This book presents a detailed exposition of the quantum field RG technique and its applications to various problems in the classical theory of critical behavior and stochastic dynamics. It focuses primarily on giving an in-depth description of the computation techniques and is the first book to give a full technical introduction to the field. Self-contained, clearly written, and well organized, Field Theoretic Renormalization Group in Critical Behavior Theory and Stochastic Dynamics forms an outstanding reference for researchers in theoretical physics, applied mathematics, statistical physics, and fluid dynamics and is accessible to anyone familiar with the basics of statistical physics.

About the Series

This long-standing, widely respected series was founded in 1961 in an effort to put forward coherent works that summarize developments in the most active and interesting areas of physics. It continues to serve that need, including textbooks, monographs, lecture notes, and professional manuals that aid in offering synthetic, authoritative accounts of the present state of the art in key subject areas of wide interest to physicists. The caliber of authors published in the series speaks to the high standards of its publication: R. P. Feynman, D. Pines, L. P. Kadanoff, R. Hofstadter, J. Schwinger, and many others.

New books in the series are commissioned by invitation. Authors are also welcome to contact the publisher, Lou Chosen, Executive Editor, lou.chosen@taylorandfrancis.com, to discuss new title ideas.
